Australasian Grebe in winter plumage

[Ofer Levy]

1D Mark IV, Canon 800 f5.6, x1.4 type III, 1/1600, f11, iso 800, miller Solo tripod, Miller Arrow 25 fluid head in chest deep water.

Just a simple shot of this grebe in winter plumage but makes me appreciate how lucky we all are having this amazing technology with such great lenses and amazing cameras with which we can do almost anything we want.

A beautiful and vivid capture of a pulchritudinous waterbird! You're quite right about the equipment that exists today, that's for sure. That water is delicious!

One might think another Grebe took this photo - I have just got a pair of 'Fly and Dry' chest high waders, tested them at Manly Dam the other day.

I like the water drops and the blue is lovley. Nice Image!

"One might think another grebe took this photo"...I like that very much. It's a happy thought!

[Ofer Levy]

Tom, make sure you wear warm cloths underneath or else you will be VERY cold!! :w3

Fantastic image, Ofer. Love that silky water and the detail on the grebe is tremendous!

[PhilCook]

Gotta love that water Ofer, such a vivid blue and satin like sheen, sharp and the water drops top this off nicely

Sweet little grebe and love that silky blue water. I had the same thoughts as you the other day regarding the technology that we have at our fingertips these days. Opens up so many possiblilties.

Ofer this is an amazing portrait. The details are so great, the colors so strong. Love those water droplets and wispy feathers. Love everything about this one.

A lovely, simple image. It is all about the shades of blue in the water and the texture of the water for me. Also the light illuminates the face perfectly,
